At the New Jeevan hospital in UP's Unnao district, the body of a nurse was found hanging, on May 1.

Murder charges were imposed on three policemen from UP’s Unnao on May 21 for severely beating an 18-year-old vegetable vendor named Faisal Hussain to death. While the family alleged that he was beaten to death, the police claimed the death due to heart attack. Reportedly, three police officers were suspended following the incident. Unnao SP Anand Kulkarni said the vendor was brought to police station for violating COVID curfew.

Multiple dead bodies, wrapped in saffron cloth, were found buried in the sand at Rautapur Ganga Ghat in UP's Unnao district on May 13. District Magistrate Ravindra Kumar said a probe has been ordered and more such bodies are being searched in other areas. However, it is not confirmed if the bodies were of COVID patients. Reportedly, the rise in prices of cremation may have caused the burial. 

In connection with the Unnao Dalit girls' death case, the UP Police has filed an FIR against eight Twitter handles accused of spreading "fake" stories claiming suspected poisoning as cause. However, multimedia website Mojo Story, one of the accused handles, has termed the FIR “blatant case of harassment". Earlier, on February 17, the three girls were found in unconscious state in Unnao’s Babuhara village; later, two of them died.
